On April 14, 2016 we received yet another complaint by Mr. Steven Samblis, asking the WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANIZATION ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION CENTER (WIPO) to take another look at the case… an “Appeal” if you will. The WIPO terms the procedure a “Refiled” case. The documents are listed below, and the original case documents are here. The case was also picked up on the news wires, here.

By our count, Mr. Samblis has attempted to silence Friends free speech rights no less then a dozen times. Mr. Samblis has filed complaint after complaint and not once has he been successful. Mr. Samblis has a hard time understanding that people are free to criticize his actions, and yes, use his copyrighted material in a Fair Use capacity.

Mr. Samblis also has a hard time understanding that a person can not erase their past. As we have suggested many times, Mr. Samblis would be far better served by attempting to do things right than wasting effort on erasing the past. As was pointed out in the case Response, Mr. Samblis has his own website, in his own name now, but has he ever attempted to refute the information Friends has put forth. Many will attest to the answer being a resounding NO ! Instead, Mr. Samblis wastes every bit of effort at shooting the messenger. He attacks those that would speak unflattering about him, and if possible, attacks them personally.

One can only wonder how much of the investor money was spent on this futile attempt to erase his past, and attack those that would spread the truth about him.
